              In this blog post, I am going to talk about America's Involvement in World War II, and the ways the our Foreign Policy has shifted over time. Pre-WWI the United States always had a historically isolationist foreign policy. We, as a country, have shifted completely, and became the world police man that we are today. Gradually,  the Foreign Policy of the United States has changed over time. At the beginning of the United States, George Washington blatantly stated that he wanted the United States to stay out of the issues of other countries. This was the case until around 1914, or rather WWI. The United States had stayed out of wars to this point, yet eventually, against George Washington's wishes, we became entangled in alliance's and our entrance was inevitable. This was really the initial break in our foreign policy. Then post-WWI the US was admits a huge economic bomb, or the Roaring twenties, and the focus was, once again, inward looking. After this point the United States moved into a much worse state, The Great Depression. This was another time where the United States had to decide to focus more within the United States. Finally the United States shifted their forrign affairs when they entered WWII. This was a war that devastated the world, and even destroyed some countries. The United States came out of this as a world power, and this aided in creating the World Police Man of today. From the end of WWII it was a gradual process.
